Yes, Alayna, there is a Truett Cathy.
My sister Angela called me to ask how the interviews went (They went well, by the way). Her daughter wanted to talk to me and ask me a quick question. She said, "Uncle Chad, is Mr. S. Truett Cathy still alive?"
Here's the answer.
This was taken yesterday afternoon in his office, which he affectionately calls his treehouse. He gave me a book and signed it for me, and we took this picture together. He'll be 87 next month.

Yea, son! The founder and his future #1 owner operator! I always knew you'd look good in a suit-even as that 10 year old who always wanted to wear sweats.
I love you!! Mama
Erin and Chad,
What a great picture! Chad, you look like you are already running his business. Hope you had a great time and that good things are in store for you. It must have been an exciting and very long interview.
Thinking of you all and missing you in Texas.

Love the picture! Glad to hear everything went well. I am so happy for you Chad.
BTW - I want that cow rocker in the background -
That cow rocker was presented to him in the 2006 annual operator seminar. I saw a picture of him riding on it in front of 1000+ operators and their spouses. Very funny.
I think it's obvious... he's a big fan of Mr. Gerlt. He likes you and thinks you are a super employee. :)
I had actually never been to the site about him, and so I too admit that I thought he might not be alive anymore either. Eek. Glad your niece asked for me. :) We're praying for you!!
So, I'm guessing from the comments that everything went well! Congratulations, you've worked hard for this Chad and Erin! Can't wait to hear details!

How exciting! We are praying for you guys!
I don't know if it is more surprising that Mr. Cathy exists or that Chad still owns a suit. Very sexy.
How exciting!!!
you should have asked them if the #1 store is the Abilene, stand alone chic fil a, open for over a year, and still causing traffic jams, it's going awesome here, lines are as long for breakfast as they are for lunch, and believe that's long
Abilene's FSU is number 308 in the chain. They did $2.8 million in 2007. Over 250 Chick-fil-A's did $3 million or more. Who in Abilene is this?
Chad looks so nice in that suit! Way to dress him well, Mrs. Gerlt. Or maybe he actually picked that out himself. If it were my house, we'd know the answer would quite definitely be no. Unless of course tapered jeans with a tucked in t-shirt is considered nice...
